What Groestlcoin is
Groestlcoin (GRS) is a Layer-1 blockchain network, currently ranked 420th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Groestlcoin is its own settlement layer. Smart contracts run on top of it, fees are paid in GRS, and the security model rests on validators bonding the token rather than burning energy to mine it.
Groestlcoin (GRS) is a decentralized cryptocurrency that emphasizes fast transactions, low fees, and user privacy, utilizing a unique proof-of-work algorithm. It aims to be an inclusive digital currency for everyday use and adoption.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Because security is bought with bonded GRS rather than hardware, the share of supply staked is a useful gauge of conviction — and of how much float is effectively locked.
Under the hood, GRS secures its ledger with Proof of Work, built on the Groestl algorithm.
Background & fundamentals
Groestlcoin first went live in 2014, giving it roughly 12 years of on-chain price history to draw on. Governance is structured as Decentralized, so no single company controls issuance or protocol changes. A documented core team of 12 contributors is listed publicly, a depth of disclosed staffing many long-tail tokens lack.
Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust. CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "Working product". In sector terms it is most often filed under Cryptocurrency, Lightning Network, and Groestl.
Where Groestlcoin sits in the market
At $0.0282, Groestlcoin carries a market capitalization of $2.43M. Around $53.93 changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 0.00% of the float — on the quieter side, which can mean thinner liquidity for large orders.
About 82% of the hard cap of 105M GRS has been minted, leaving only modest issuance ahead. GRS remains -99% beneath its all-time high of $3.08, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close.
What the price history shows
Across timeframes, GRS shows 24-hour +0.67%.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Groestlcoin in the Low-volatility band — it has been relatively stable, with moves typical of large-cap, mature assets.
How to evaluate Groestlcoin
The honest checklist for GRS is short:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of GRS staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Groestlcoin over competing Layer-1s.
